Favorite Movie or TV Kitchen

Christmas in Connecticut

I really like the kitchen in that movie,also look real close in the background,when they are in Felix workplace,they paid so much detail,you see chickens on a spit in the background cooking.I watched it last night and I was thinking,WOW what a wonderful house that was so modern yet country,shades of Holiday Inn. Hope everyone had a good and safe New Year!!!!

Is my favorite movie of all time, and I do love the turquoise appliances in the kitchen. Some years after the movie came out I tracked down the identical '67 Frigidaire bottom-freezer refrigerator in a used appliance store in Burbank. It was a great box and lasted years with a little work on the defrost heaters.

 

In the shot below Lulu has just come home from school with her report card. She's about to explain to poor Francine that Baltimore schools have changed their grading system so that "F" is for Fantastic, thus making her straight Fs, well, fantastic. Francine doesn't believe her, at which point Lulu says she doesn't care because she just quit school and wants to be a go-go dancer down at the Flaming Cave Lounge.

That's a nice fridge!

I wish I could find one like it!

Only the best for Francine Fishpaw and her family!

Post 648285, the Conners' back porch-mud/laundry room

I have always wondered why a home with a basement in the mid-west had a water heater located where this one was located and how would those pipes in the wall feed the house where there were baths on two levels. The water heater also looks kinda skinny for a family of that size.

Tonight

I will start a new thread about water heaters tonight because I don't want to OT this thread too much!

What was "almost" the Taylor's "new kitchen&

Only in Mayberry can you answer a simple question on a game/quiz show and win a whole houseful of appliances--big and small!

And of course you have to be "Ain't Bee"...!

Aunt Bea won some wonderful appliances. I'd never seen this one before.

Cocoa Beach

Has anyone else noticed that Astronauts for NASA residing in Cocoa Beach have both cooktops and full ranges?

FINALLY!!!!

Thank you Gansky1! Aunt Bea's RCA-Whirlpools are the exact year (possibly the exact model) as my grandmother's washer (hers was white, and I thought it had a couple more of the black buttons, but I can't swear to it. I keep seeing machines on here that are close, but not quite, and couldn't believe that there were NO pictures of one with her panel and backsplash!

Her dryer was much older (and rarely used--she line dried when she could), and kept in the garage, while the washer was right in the kitchen. Might have been a non-RCA Whirlpool. No recollection of the control panel, but the door release was a rectangular button above the door with the Whirlpool logo. The button was translucent plastic (or age-clouded clear plastic)--kind of looked like it may have lit up once upon a time.

Roseanne's kitchen. The hand grenade on the window sill popped up again. Roseanne used it as a good luck charm when she got addicted to Bingo.

Matlock

Does anyone remember the kitchen from Matlock? The kitchen changed a little over the seasons, mostly the curtains, and appliances. I couldn't identify fridge from earlier seasons, but later had a white Frigidaire with the curved woodgrain handles. The range in earlier seasons was very plain almond gas one, but again I couldn't identify. Then I think another gas one in white, it's the one he tells Julie to stop cleaning because it's self-cleaning. Then another, white and black that I think could be a Roper. The last stove he had was a white gas Caloric with black glass door. Leanne burned the popcorn on it in one episode.

Also I really liked the kitchen from Keeping Up Appearances, and it too had changes over the seasons.

As far as vintage kitchens, the one from Driving Miss Daisy was awesome. I liked the old stove, light fixtures and the electric clock on the wall.

Hey! I just thought of:

The kitchen on Still Standing:

The often-excessively-used General Electric top-freezer fridge (probably borrowed from sit com-to-sit com), a Magic Chef gas range, and--Gasp!--a DISHWASHER!!!! (You don't often see those...)

All in Harvest Wheat, while in the background, a Whirlpool washer and dryer, in Almond, in the Laundry...!

"Hello Down There" --underwater house, kitchen.
"Glass Bottom Boat" --Futuristic/modern kitchen complete with robot vacuum.

All in the Family:

The 25-year-old white Frigidaire fridge (as its age had been revealed in an episode where it was being repaired) though don't know when this episode had aired... Meathead Mike frequented it a lot! And be sure the food from the deli for a Jewish guest stays on that shelf away from the Gentile food so it don't lose its Kosher, said Archie in one episode...

The big, long white gas range Edith cooked on; Brand? Cousin Maude had some Copper wall oven...

The Jeffersons next door had a Copper Tone Caloric gas range, that became a copper Tappan when the Stivics moved in, then got Avocado appliances when they moved to California, and the Jeffersons pilot showed the kitchen they'd get on their official show...

The most significant appliance was an RCA Whirlpool gas range, in Copper, that a scene opened with, showing a glowing burner contains a tea kettle--that was the episode where a diseased relative of Edith's was revealed to be a lesbian...

And there were the Harvest Gold washers and dryers at the laundromat Edith frequented...

For me, it's the Bewitched Kitchens

And to the OP, don't pass out, but I've never seen the movie "War of the Roses"

When I read the post, I went straight to YouTube to watch the trailer. I can't believe I never saw this. In my little mind the title had WAR and I probably was thinking it was a movie about a real WAR and I wouldn't have been interested. But the movie looks REALLY GOOD.

 

[jakeseacrest]

Mark it's one of my favorites

 

[xraytech]

One of my favorite TV kitchens is from Leave it to Beaver, however I like the more colonial style kitchen with the freestanding range and top freezer fridge standing next to each other, from the first home

I've also found the kitchen from Mama's Family to be most enjoyable as well

 

[daveamkrayoguy]

Lots of movies, more than TV, but I'm thinking of the Hotpoint refrigerator, from one of the last great eras, in THE ODD COUPLE (milk that doesn't need the bottle to stand in, came to mind) which it's been years since I've seen...

Also some other movie I saw long ago, had a chrome Westinghouse wall oven with the controls below the door--my grandma had one in her apt. Along w/ cook top & fridge... Forgot what this film was, though...

Since no one

mentioned the kitchens from "Courtship of Eddies father, or "The big chill" or Steel Magnolias. By now, all are vintage.
